rumor about the Jail to-day that G overnor
Ozlesby has sent up an agent TO look into
the case and determine the degrees Gf
guilt OF the seven. Schwab refused to
talk when questioned on this point. It
required little cosxing, however, to get
him to deny the Pittsburg yarn. He de-
clared that Schnaubelt had . partner, but
he Was not the bomb throWer. Parsons
ssid the story was nonsense. Captain
Black called about 1 o'clock to say gooi

JUSTICES WATCHwoRD.
CHICAGO, Ill Nov. THE object OF
the visit Of Messrs. Salter and Lloyd to
the anarchists On Wednesday developed
to-day by the circulation CT three differ
ent petitions among the citizens, asking
the Governor TO save the anarchists. The
first of these contained the names of all
seven men, and was signed during the
day By Judge Fuller, Judge Booth, Alder
mau Manirre, ard others. The second
petition does not contain the names
Ut Engel, Fischer aud Lingg. The
last one has only the names OF
Flelden AID Sch1ao on it, these being
singled out as the men most likely TO DC
saved. The Arbeiter Z3itung, the organ
Of tae sGarchiSts, has long editorial on
the action of the Supreme court, in which
it FaYs: 1.-The request Of Our eight CON-
rsGes for writ of error has been refused
by the Federal Supreme court. For 9
hundred years the United States MS en-
j1yCd the reputation OF being fee
country. Up to short
time ego such a reputation
was certainly most jaslhable,
bat lately few pcssessor3 OF the cClOs
s2l riches produced ~ the common pso-
pie have usurps d the government and q
criminal power has been used 90 prevent
and n,lslnterpret the Laws created by the
iatherS CT this republic IN good faith arc
q progressive spirit. They splatter with
mud the name OF the republic. The 81
prem9 court a. Washington, the General
Imperial court at L ipoic aid the Martial
courts at S. Petersburg staud On the
same level. The justice which is being
diatci0uted under the aGSpi eg Of Jay
Gould, VaEde r0ilt, etc, wears not only
csndhge over her eyes, but also 2 watch
word on her breast which reads: 'The
puohc be damred!'"
